Participatory Observation the Researcher's Identity Objectives between "Statement and Concealment" in the field of study

Abstract

The technique of observation is used by participants in qualitative research, and it is a technique that imposes the presence of the researcher within the research community. In addition, one of the issues that the researcher encounters while using this technique is the issue of the group's perception of his quality within the field of study.Is the researcher's identity revealed or hidden from them? Does this or that situation have an impact on the study's findings?The researcher may need to review the debate among researchers about how to use the participatory observation technique in order to determine his position before starting his study if he wants to use it.
